My plan for this year is improve my credit, get my real estate license (to increase my income on top of my W-2), possibly career transition into the property management space (to learn more), and save as much as possible and learn as much as I can.I’d love to house hack close to home but my area is so expensive it seems like it’d be close to impossible. 

Most lenders are licensed in multiple states.

Have a picture of your family actually installing a big fancy door.And of course, I assume that you are licensed/bonded/imsured as required by your local laws?

I am also a licensed real estate agent. 

I’m a third-year student at the University of Florida with one year left until graduation, and I just got my real estate license.
